I’m also curious who the worst in the NHL would be. 2013 or so Pittsburgh would’ve been the obvious choice, they were treating Sidney Crosby for a concussion and it somehow took them an entire year to notice he’d also screwed up his neck. He even played eight games of an attempted comeback in that time. And on top of…

I’m not sure RSox fans are even the most obnoxious fanbase in Boston. Fuckin’ Patriots fans, man, constantly lording the championships over every other NFL fanbase as if they had anything to do with it, while simultaneously having a massive persecution complex and somehow getting more bitter every time the Pats win.…

I’m suddenly a lot happier that they’re down 2-0.

“It is called an acute or chronic injury,” one of Osemele’s agents, Andrew Kessler, told me via email.

Knowing the Diaz bros, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out he was stoned when he took the test.

I’ve said before I’m expecting the Raptors to have the biggest regression for a championship-winning NBA team since the 1998-99 Bulls, who traded away Pippen, released Rodman and had Jordan retire on them.

It’s ironic how many arguments against the existence of white privilege end up serving as evidence for it.

I’d argue Brees. Career leader in yards, yards per game, completions, completion %, most consecutive games with a TD, third-place in passer rating (just ahead of Brady), tied with Brady for second-most Q4 comebacks. I know he doesn’t have the same degree of playoff success, but he’s also generally had worse teams…

We have a political party trying to overthrow a president by lying, hiding, creating and manufacturing crimes. Where do we live? This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! This isn’t Russia, Venezuela, Cuba

If Gase is so concerned about his franchise quarterback not looking stupid on national TV, maybe he should work a littler harder during the week to make sure his offense doesn’t get its pants pulled down by some disguised blitzes.

By the time Peyton Manning and Adam Gase first met, Peyton was a 36-year-old 4-time MVP who was basically his own offensive coordinator. But sure, Gase was super-important in his development.

I’m not sure play action would’ve been the answer to that, pass rush is getting to you that fast and you’re just gonna get sacked while you’re faking the run. That said, why they didn’t think to go for some slants or crosses or screens or something is beyond me.

Why do so many rich people seem to think going “I’m not wrong for doing it, you’re wrong for noticing” is a good strategy for dealing with the media?

I’m just naturally a monster.

Oh my god I am so tired of hearing about the fecking balls.

I think somewhere along the line WWE convinced itself that people who actually like wrestling are gonna watch no matter what, so there’s no reason to bother catering to them when they could go after the always elusive casual fans. And they’ve been doing a bad job of that too.

Wait, the Falcons’ kicker is named Matt Bryant? Bet that doesn’t get confusing.

Eh, not sure I can buy Vanderbilt either, they haven’t been shut out since 2017, and Rutgers have been shut out three times this year. Including one against Indiana. Plus Vanderbilt scored 38 against LSU. They gave up 66, but they scored 38.

There’s something I’m surprised people haven’t been making a bigger deal of in regards to Joe Tsai’s statement there: he’s the vice-chairman of Alibaba Group. If anyone here doesn’t know what that is, it’s one of the biggest corporations in China. I’d say it’s like their version of Amazon, but it actually handles more…

Stephen A. Smith is the David Brooks of sports journalism CMV don’t @ me
